Rain is forecasted for Sunday and Monday, and we are still in the first inning, this match is heading to a draw, that's a pity!
Like Clarkey said, unless we can win this test, his big century will mean nothing !
You can't beat the weather !
We are flat out trying to beat the poms don't need to have to beat the weather as well.Originally Posted by AHLUNGOR
OH well we were competitive in the first match and lost got thrashed in the second test and are competitive in this one.
Would be good to win but will need a bit of luck.
Want one spin bowler apply to australian cricket! Urgently required!name you fee!

I should have posted this add a while back very next ball Lyon gets a wicket! About time.
Would have liked to get the last wicket a lot quicker.
Now we lost 1 early before the lunch, I think we need to score very quickly and get to a lead of around 350 then declare and put England back in, a couple of early wicket before stumps will set us up for a possible win on day 5.
Forget about the weather, lets win this , if it rains, we draw, so be it
So Aussies !!
Well, the way we are batting and the rate the wickets are falling, this is like an one day match!
Now that the rains cums, that may be it for today, 296 may be enough to bowl England out !
It's gonna be close
Hang in there Clarkey and the boys
Go Aussies !!
It's raining in Manchester City at the moment, so my bet on an Australia victory looks all but lost.
My insurance bet on a draw @$3.75 should be a collect. Too bad, I would much rather see the Aussie boys keeping the series alive !!

Yeah we're cooked. Really we need to declare, surround the bat, put the ball constantly in the zone and hope for the best. reality is it will be a draw.. Damn Pomgolians...
Sportsbet is betting $1.01 for a draw, it was $3.75 on Thursday ! And an Aussie win will pay $17! ($5.50 on Thursday when I got on ) and a win by England pays $67 ! Was $1.65
You would think the bookies know their stuff!!
Cheers
Ps, on a brighter note , Sam Stusor beat Victoria Azarenka for the first time in 9 meetings in the final in California !! Well done Sam , her first title since the US Open too!
Cheers
We're a big show here. 3 for at lunch, Harris bowling brilliantly, pomgolians running scared, and rain looking less likely.
We can't beat the weather !!
And the heavy rain has hit us for Six !
It's a draw ! England retain the Ashes!! Now the next two tests will be a good team building and training exercises as well as team selection trail for the next Ashes series back home !
I am sure England will do the same and blood some new bowlers and batsmen, like all those 12th man and drinks boys !!
Thank you linesmen, thank you ball boys !!
Cheers
Ps. And Michael Clarke was right, his huge hundred now means nothing apart from improving his batting average !!
Good night !
Geez, interesting story breaking with this bat tampering business ..... reckon Davey Warner might have a few questions to answer after that little snick of his that didn't show up on hotspot.
It's just not cricket. :-(
is it over? who win?
Well, as far as the Ashes series goes, it's over because it's a 5 tests series, England has won two and draw 1, so even if Australia win the remaining two tests, the series will be a drawn series and as England is the current holder of the Ashes, they will retain it until the Australian Summer.
But the Aussie will not lay down dying, they will consider themselves unlucky not to have won in Trent Bridge (lost by only 14 runs) and the rain had saved England in Old Trafford when we were clearly on top.
Currently in the 4th test, after Day 1, England is 9 for 238, that's a very low run rate for 90 overs so I think we are on top of them especially Nathan Lyon has taken 4 wickets so our spin bowler is finally firing. So yes, I think we will win the next two tests and build some confidence and momentum for the summer at home.
So Aussie !!

Fuck me, this DRS thing is FARCICAL.
It's just not cricket. :-(
The only thing more ridiculous than the DRS is Graeme Swann. How does a guy that white, that British, and that old possibly think he can pull off the 'popped collar'?? You look like a douche, mate. :-P
He IS a douche...
The drs was introduced to get rid of howlers. In the instance of Rogers there that was an odd one. Before drs we'd have watched the replay and said "well he didn't hit it but he was lb so net result is the same..".
We're scoring at a fair clip but I screamed at Clarke for that shot. That was park cricket shit.
It was later reveal by the commentators that just before Clarke got out, he was interrupted by an old lady in the stand and tried to get her sit down! He should have walk away and come back and get ready again - just like a golfer to re addressing the ball! But he just stayed on and bloody hit a loose ball.
Didn't something similar happened to Rogers when he was in the 80's and got interrupted by the people walking in and out of the box ?? And he got out in the next ball!
They need to turn around and re group man !
Finally, Watson makes a half century and a 100 runs partnership with Rogers!!
Still behind by 57, but if these two can bat on, we should get even and build some lead!
Shit as I was typing this , Rogers almost got stumped !
Not out though ! He's got a bit of luck today , we needed that if we want to win this test !
Go Aussies ！
